Blacked out front grill?
For those that have changed out your front grill to black, do you have the shop paint it or did you just get it off of ebay/bimmain/etc?

I'm still debating on what to do with mine but if anyone has their stock set for sale, please pm me. Thanks

I ordered the Matte Black then had the dealer paint the rim Black Sapphire to match my car.

got mine oe painted black. Tried the matte black before but the painted black looks much cleaner depending on the direction you are trying to go with. I have also tried wet sanding my current grilles and painting them (not recommended), rock chips show the silver underneath paint.

Are there any pictures of painted / glossy black installed? I think this would look much better than matte as well.
